I see my textiles as performers that are cast in site-specific events. These performers belong to differing families. The Portals have a wavy silhouette, the Textile Wallpaper are extraordinarily long, the Dream Robes aid in recalling dreams. The Mad Lab Coats are extravagant alchemists and the Auras empathise with sunsets.
Please visit the mixed media section to see some examples of the textile’s performances.
